Long-rumored shipwreck book washes ashore in time for the holidays

Wayne O’Neil was always vague about the book he longed to create – something that would showcase his great love for the region while making use of his extensive collection of historic photographs; for years he spoke of possibilities, never settling on D FHQWUDO WKHPH %XW ZKHQ WKH 3DFLÂż F 2FHDQ ODLG WKH very pages at his feet one winter’s day in 1965, the longtime newspaper publisher and all-around printman had the good sense to take notice: “That was a turning point, the day the paper rolled in,â€? recalls his daughter, Peggy Mathena. “After that, Dad knew his book just had to be about shipwrecks.â€? Like many crafts of sail and steam that had come and gone before her, the freighter Hawaiian Planter, bound for Honolulu, faltered in a storm at the treacherous mouth of the Columbia River, her cargo swept overboard in surrender to a thundering sea. What was a small loss for the ship’s owners became a huge gain for O’Neil, who waited onshore near Long Beach, Wash., to glean what the surf spit out. The prize he claimed came packaged in nine refrigerator-sized containers weighing up to SRXQGV Âą HDFK IXOO\ ORDGHG ZLWK Âż QH SDSHU stock. Amazingly, the supply was largely undamaged, and after a freshwater rinse and meticulous

drying, O’Neil stashed it away in a corner of his print shop and set about turning his dream into reality. With fresh direction for his book – and now, the paper to print it on – he took stock of what he had and what he still needed. As owner of the Chinook Observer, he had access to many photographs and well-researched stories, but to supplement the collection, O’Neil turned to his community. “Over time, word spread,� says Mathena, who has worked on the project since her high school days, “and more stories and photos would trickle in. I don’t think there was anyone around who didn’t know we were working on the book, it went on for so long,� she says, laughing. “Things would slow down in the shop, and as soon as we’d pull it out, we’d get busy again. It was like job security!� O’Neil passed away in 1998, but thankfully, his treasured tome did not die with him. With Mathena at the project’s helm – gratefully aided by “many, many helpers,� including her mother – the work continued. Today, almost 50 years after he salvaged the paper coughed up by the sea, her father’s book has come to fruition. Recently published – in both an exquisite hardbound collector’s edition on the sea-soaked paper,

But unlike most shipwreck books, this one doesn’t deal only in disaster. Against a lengthy list of tragic losses, the book balances triumph – with lifesaving heroes and fun-loving beachcombers – who all emerge as well-drawn characters in this unique narrative of life by the sea. “There were so many people who made this happen,â€? says Mathena. “From the news columns of Dan’l Markham, and the stories people gave us through the years to the marvelous editing of Joan Mann Alkins, whose words wove all of it together so beautifully. Dad would have been mad that we named him author – he was a humble man and wouldn’t have liked the attention – but it was all his idea. Though it took us 50 years to get here, he’s the reason it exists.â€?

Story by VAL RYAN Photos by ALEX PAJUNAS

t must be the Christmas season because “The Nutcrackerâ€? is coming to Astoria. For the 39th year, this holiday favorite will be presented at Astoria High School under the artistic direction of Jeanne Peterson. It “takes a villageâ€? to make this production happen – with professional guest artists, more than 100 local and regional dancers, almost as many volunteers and a professional 50-piece orchestra. Peterson is the founder of this feat. “It all began with an LP on a turntable at the Riviera Theatre (now The Columbian) and a 20-minute version of ‘The Nutcracker,’â€? says Peterson. “Now, funded in part by the Oregon Cultural Trust, it is a real production.â€? “The Nutcrackerâ€? is portrayed in many ZD\V EXW WKH /LWWOH %DOOHW 7KHDWUH D QRQSURÂż W scholarship foundation, presents the traditional VWRU\ VWDUW WR Âż QLVK DOO ZLWK WKH JRUJHRXV DQG evocative Tchaikovsky music to underpin and showcase the action.

When “The Nutcracker� debuted in 1892, it was not deemed a success. Critics complained about the dancers, the sets, even the music. Now, it is a perennial favorite, often marking the holiday season for many, many families, especially in the United States. It all begins with The Party Scene: It is Christmas Eve at the Stahlbaum house – a large and grand house with the most beautiful tree imaginable. The Stahlbaums are hosting their annual Christmas party, welcoming family and friends. The children, Clara and Fritz, are dancing and playing as they welcome their friends. In this year’s production, Maia Mahoney, a ninth grader at Warrenton Grade School, dances as Clara, and Rocky Rub dances Fritz. The party grows festive with music and dance when godfather Drosselmeyer arrives and presents his gifts to Clara and Fritz. Although his gift to Fritz is quite nice, he gives Clara a beautiful Nutcracker that quickly becomes the hit of the party. Fritz is jealous,

grabs the nutcracker from Clara and promptly breaks it. Clara is heartbroken, looking on as Drosselmeyer quickly repairs the Nutcracker with a handkerchief he magically draws from the air. As the evening grows late, the guests depart and the Stahlbaum family retires for the evening. Clara, worried about her beloved Nutcracker, sneaks back to the tree to check on him, falling asleep with him in her arms. The next scene is The Fight Scene. As the clock strikes midnight, strange things begin to happen. Clara begins shrinking as her beautiful Christmas tree grows high above her. (For those of you who are wondering: Yes, the tree will grow! Everything is rigged and designed in an ingenious way with pulleys, hooks and every manner of engineering feat to make it happen.) The toys around the tree come to life while WKH URRP ¿ OOV ZLWK DQ DUP\ RI PLFH OHG E\ WKH ¿ HUFH 0RXVH .LQJ GDQFHG WKLV \HDU E\ Brooke Cross.

Each scene is choreographed according to the abilities of the person cast, with Peterson, Carleta Allen, Alice and Heidi Thompson, Carol Chase and Emily Madsen working together

on different scenes, bringing them to life. The sets are designed by Ann Murray: a set for the Party Scene and the Fight Scene, then RQH IRU WKH 6QRZ 6FHQH DQG Âż QDOO\ DQRWKHU IRU WKH .LQJGRP RI 6ZHHWV 6HDQ &DVH\ IURP Portland designed the front set – what you see while the curtains are closed – as a replica of Flavel House. Seeing the Flavel House welcomes ballet-goers to a familiar place and will give the illusion of entering the Stahlbaum House. These planners and designers have thought of everything to enhance the experience for their audience. There are doubtless many wonderful stories connected with the many years of this production. One of them, told by Peterson, is about Christina Williams, a longtime friend of the ballet who passed away at age 86 two years ago. “She started taking ballet when she was about 50, never missed a class and so enjoyed being part of the opening scene. She was one of the parents (in the Party Scene) and had someone make her a blue dress for the occasion,â€?

Peterson says. “Each year she did something different to the dress, added a collar or a bow or something to revamp and make new the same blue dress. She needed a new dress, but she never got it. “Instead, Christina’s Challenge Fund was started, helped greatly by a generous donation from Mr. Bob Blanck, whose granddaughter had performed in the production. “Ten new blue dresses have been made from that fund, and, where Christina used to sit, there will now be a blue pillow. Deb Stuck came up with the idea, and Darcie Hayes made the pillow.� This production is a personal labor of love and is worked on in many ways for the entire year leading up to the performance weekend. Costumes are created, revised, cleaned and refurbished, set pieces checked for wear and tear, hotel rooms for out-of-town performers secured, and a thousand and one details attended to. This year, on Sept. 21, auditions were held, the cast chosen, 10 weeks of rehears-

‘The Nutcracker’ is portrayed in many ways, but the Little Ballet Theatre, a nonprofit scholarship foundation, presents the traditional story, start to finish, all with the gorgeous and evocative Tchaikovsky music to underpin and showcase the action.

als scheduled and another “Nutcracker� was underway. There will be three performances: at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 7, and at 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 8. General admission tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for seniors and children under age 12. If you haven’t already, make this part of your holiday tradition, as it is for so many people around the world.

Hungry Harbor Grille

I

A bright spot for a beachy day – kids included

If you are a regular reader of this column, you may remember me remarking once before that the Long Beach Peninsula seems to have more restaurants, per capita, than the rest of the regions I frequent for my assignments. With at least a restaurant on each block in downtown Long Beach, and sometimes three or four next door to one another, it is easy to lose yourself in a fog of combined food smells, not to mention all the brightly colored storefronts selling kites, hats and other tourist-y sundries. I have admittedly walked right past the Hungry Harbor Grille many times and never gone inside, but I’m happy to say that after my most recent visit, it’s a place I’ll happily return to. Hungry Harbor is bright, colorful and clean and seems designed to feed hungry tourists (as the name suggests) quickly. Orders are placed at the counter, and the food delivered to your table. Noisy children, sandy Àip-Àops and harried parents are all welcome here, and I’m certain it must be a popular pop-in place for lunch while on a family holiday at the coast. On the evening I visited, I started by ordering two dishes that I consider “standard” coastal fare clam chowder and halibut ¿sh and chips. I often receive mail from readers wondering if I can recommend a good place for these dishes, so I try to sample them often. I was quite pleased with the quality of the halibut ¿sh and chips, one of the better examples of this dish I’ve tasted on the peninsula. 7he breading on the ¿sh was extremely crisp and crunchy, and the ¿sh inside tender and Àaky. 7he crinkle cut )rench fries were Must okay for me, as they lacked the crispness I

usually prefer, but with the addition of salt and ketchup they were improved. The cole slaw served as a side dish was better than average, with an exceptionally pleasing tang that I enMoyed very much. I found the clam chowder better than many I’ve sampled, with a thick, creamy consistency, soft potatoes, plenty of clams, and a pleasant, savory Àavor overall. The chowder was elevated with a sourdough bread bowl. And with its $7.99 price tag, I consider it an incredibly good value, especially for such a large portion. My daughter sampled an item off the children’s menu – a corn dog – and I was again impressed that for $4.99 it was a better-than-store-bought corn dog, with )rench fries, a 5ice .rispie treat, and a beverage in a reusable, commemo-

At this point I was even further impressed – my son had ordered clam chowder, which was not a kid’s meal, but a server from the counter brought him a 5ice .rispie treat and to-go cup as well – free of charge – as he Mokingly said he knew that such a lack of equity between children could start a small war. Though the restaurant doesn’t provide table service, per se, apart from the food being delivered to your table, I thought this small gesture was incredibly thoughtful and aboveand-beyond for an establishment of this kind. Next, I sampled two entrée items from the “specials” menu. The ¿rst was a basket of battered halibut tacos, and I was extremely pleased with them. Each taco was topped with

house-made salsa with large chunks of tomato, cheddar cheese,and cilantro, which tied all the Àavors together perfectly and lent authentic Àair. I would return again for these tacos. The second special entrée of prime rib with a side salad and steamed vegetables fell a bit short for me. The prime rib was a little overcooked and lacked some Àavor, although a side of au Mus and a good sprinkling of salt and pepper helped. Overall, I was impressed that a restaurant I might consider a burger-and-fries sort of place would attempt both a prime rib entrée as well as halibut tacos, and I thought both were executed well enough given the relatively low prices. Most of the time when I am dining out as The Mouth, I arrange to do so without my children, as my dining adventures sometimes last quite some time (since I’m sampling so many foods), and also because, let’s face it, not every restaurant is appropriate for children, nor should they have to be. On the other hand, as a parent, I appreciate a restaurant that can cater to the tastes of adults and children alike, not to mention an atmosphere that welcomes and enMoys children. I recommend the Hungry Harbor Grille for any time you ¿nd yourself on the Long Beach Peninsula – sandy shoes, kids and all.

The next art walk is from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 7, with art on display and for purchase, food and live music. Some venues open earlier or later, so you can make a day of it.

show “Be Still.” For Yates, childhood Christmases meant snow-covered hills, festive decorations and fun activities set to holiday music coming from one of the many musicians in her family. “Christmas music has been a vital part of my family’s traditions. My repertoire will be a selection of blues, traditional and whimsical songs of the season,” Yates said. The affair will be a feast for the eyes, ears, hearts and mouths. The gallery will offer gifts of iced desserts and selected Northwest wines, courtesy of artist Patricia Clark-Finley and Randy Finley of Mt. Baker Winery.

Five Minutes With ... JENNIFER GOODENBERGER

Born in Portland, spending her “wonder years” in Montana, moving to Astoria in junior high and settling permanently in Astoria as an adult 10 years ago, this local musician has a wide range of musical favorites, including “I Will Survive” by Donna Summer and “Nessum Dorma” by Puccini.

Karla Nelson, Jim Neva and Don Nisbett prepare the world’s tallest crab pot Christmas tree for the annual tree lighting ceremony in Ilwaco, Wash., which takes place this year at 5 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 7.

What instruments do you play and how long have you played? I started begging my parents for piano lessons when I was 6, but I had to wait to begin until I was 9. It has been my main focus ever since. I also used to play guitar and bass. You recently released your seventh album, “Sonnet: Poetry for Solo Piano.” What goes into creating an album like this? All of my albums are concept albums. This means they are created with an idea in mind, and all of the music must work together as a whole, rather than as a number of separate works. My style of composing is that of creating the melody and harmony, but each time I play the piece, it is somewhat different. I don’t write down all the notes that are to be played. This adds an element of improvisation into the composing and performing.

When preparing an album for recording, I take into account how pieces begin and end, how pieces flow one to another, and the overall arc of the entire album. There is a tremendous amount of thought and planning for each album, beyond just the composition of the music. How did poetry work to inspire your latest album? Some of the pieces on “Sonnet” I originally composed for voice and piano, using the poetry of Emily Dickinson and May Sarton. These I turned into piano solos. Other pieces I call “poetry in and of itself.” Both poetry and music are about flow, rhythm and expression. One of the things I love about poetry is that so much can be said with a few words. There are layers of meaning within a poem. My compositions are like that. Through numerous hearings, a listener can hear different meanings, thoughts and emotions. Pablo Casals

said, “Music is the divine way to tell beautiful, poetic things to the heart.” What made you get involved with music? My parents both loved music, and it was always a part of our lives. As a child my family listened to all styles of music, especially the Beatles, classical and Broadway. We children were all required to take piano lessons. One of my brothers is a professional percussionist. What song makes you crank up the volume? “I Will Survive” by Donna Summer! Early Beatles and “Nessum Dorma” by Puccini are also on the list. What are your current musical projects? I am preparing a holiday concert with flutist Shelley Loring that we will give at Grace Episcopal Church in Astoria on Dec. 19. I’m also preparing a concert of film music, which I will be giving in Southern California in February. In addition, I play for numerous groups for their recitals and concerts and for several local restaurants. The Daily Astorian does a great job in listing these jobs in the Coast Weekend. Where are your CDs available for purchase? Both Foxgloves and A Gypsy’s Whimsy carry them in Astoria, and the Shelburne Inn in Seaview, Wash. In addition, they are available through my website: www. JenniferGoodenberger.com How do you occupy your time when you are not playing piano? I actually have a second career as a visual artist, working in textiles and beading. Currently I have work showing at Salon Verve in Astoria. In addition, I watch a lot of films, read and walk on the Astoria Riverwalk. What do you like about living on the coast? The natural beauty, the Columbia River and the peace of the area are all important. But it is the sense of community that keeps me here!
